    Taskbar Thumbnails


    For some reason, when I hover over a program in the taskbar and there are multiple instances open, rather than 2 thumbnails, I get a list. How can I fix this? I have attached a photo to show the issue.

    Please note that when only one instance is open, the thumbnail is displayed just fine

    Hello Joe,

    It looks like you may have set your taskbar thumbnails threshold too low by mistake.

    Check to see what you have for the NumThumbnails DWORD value, and adjust as/if needed.
